Hi Jeff.

You really need to run some kind of antivirus software--otherwise you put
yourself and others at risk of having software damaged/destroyed by a
computer virus.  If McAfee is causing problems for you, might I suggest a
program called AVG?  AVG is fairly speech friendly, especially the
Professional version.  However, the "Home" version can be downloaded for
free at www.grisoft.com and works with both JAWS and Window-Eyes.

Make sure to uninstall McAfee through the Add/Remove Programs in your
Control Panel.  Having two antivirus programs running simultaneously is a
recipe for disaster.  A number of my blind friends are running it with
little difficulty.  I, personally, run Norton Antivirus.  It is not what I
would call speech-friendly, but I've figured out how to cope with it.

But, I have looked at AVG, and it does work with speech and does not use
the obnoxious web appearance that most newer programs seem to be turning to.
